Chili oil is something I don’t think I can live without. And at this point, I’m convinced anything that has chili oil on it, will turn out amazing, from ramen to tacos to ice cream and apparently now even watermelon!
This chili oil ramen is the next level up of a broke college kid’s lunch that everyone seems to love, and for a damn good reason. By combining the ramen powder with a few everyday ingredients, you can create something magical and glorious. I mean the aroma of the hot sizzling oil hitting the spice mixture is just insane! In my opinion, an egg with a runny yolk is essential for ramen – whether it’s soupy or soupless like this.
If you’re looking for a quick, easy and delicious meal, this chili oil ramen will get the job done!
